The Beatles Sgt Pepper

Published by davestuff at 5:48 pm under Music Edit This

The summer of love involved the Beatles. You know, flowers, love, peace. Sgt Pepper was the big album for the summer of love in 1967. The Jefferson Airplane and the Doors were the other 2 big albums of that summer. The soundtrack to the Viet Nam war.

Rolling Stone Magazine has called Sgt Pepper the biggest most influential album of all time.. Hmmm? I dunno. It is a great record as I am a big Beatles fan but it’s certainly not my favorite. The White Album holds that title for me.

Sgt Pepper does have some great moments . The Benefit of Mr Kite and Lovely Rita are pretty groovy. I remember listening to this record back when I was about 6 or 7 years old…Bouncing on my bed in front of a compact record player… Just soaking it all in… It is very infectious music.

Did Sgt Perpper change the face of music? Was it the pivotal changing point from rock and roll crap to something people could actually listen to? Even musical Scholars? Sure, whatever works.

George Martin and the boys were very proud of the record. John Lennon dissed it later however saying it wasn’t really all that great… Or something like that… I read it in a Beatles book. It hurt Paul’s feelings.. Heck there’s enough Beatles books out there to start a new religion… Anybody think of that?

    “June 1st 67, something died and went to heaven.
    I wish Sgt Pepper never taught the band to play!”

    I liked the Beatles, but not what they stood for. I didn’t like all that religious stuff. The middle eastern religions they used. I did like their music though and they definitely contributed a lot to the music world.

    Religious Beatles… Yeah… I guess so.. They really didn’t preach much tho…And Lennon quit that stuff early in the game and later criticized it openly…

    And The Beatles is Ozzy’s favorite band ya know?
